Helped with filling silo for over 50 years.....starting in 1965 when my dad put up a 16 x 40 silo. We filled that year with a corn binder and cutting box, working with a neighbour. As kids, we ran the down pipe and trampled silo. Next move was a different neighbour using an IH 400 gas on a 2 row Doin harvester, with 2 rear unloading wagons the silage dragged off by fork into a trough type blower driven by a WD Allis. Then my dad bought his own unit, a one row 782 AC harvester driven by a 65 MF and one Dion wagon pulled by a 30 Massey and an MF 35 on an AC blower. Moved up to a 2120 JD in 1973 with a one row NH Super 717 harvester, and same blower. We used this for years, extending the silo to 50 feet plus building another 16 x 60 silo, but used a Ford 4000 on the blower and a 44 Special Massey on the a Rex wagon and the Dion. I bought this from him in 1983, upgraded the harvester to a NH 718 and a NH 25 blower. In 1992 I bought a 2955 JD, put a 2 row 824 heat from the harvester, the 2120 on the blower and my MH 55 to draw the wagons. Upgraded to a NH 790 harvester and an 880W forage head to harvest haulage. Used a 2755 on the blower and the 2120 on 2 brand new Dion wagos, and filled 6 silos a year for some time. Ran this unit til the cattle left in 2017. Always liked that job.....

Today's Featured Article - Product Review: Black Tire Paint - by Staff. I have been fortunate in that two of my tractors have had rear tires that were in great shape when I bought the tractor. My model "H" even had the old style fronts with plenty of tread. My "L" fronts were mismatched Sears Guardsman snow tires, which I promptly tossed. Well, although these tires were in good shape as far as tread was concerned, they looked real sad. All were flat, but new tubes fixed that. In addition to years and years of scuffing and fading, they had paint splattered on
